This entire conversation is so fucking gross. Barbara Walters announced on The View today that she's spent, like, a bunch of time around Woody Allen and his daughters and he is "as sensitive, and as loving and as caring" a father as she's ever seen. And also the statute of limitations has run out, so nya nya.

"I know Mia, I have a good relationship with her," Walters explained. "But I've been with Woody many times with his two daughters, he's got almost a twenty-year-old marriage…I have rarely seen a father as sensitive, and as loving and as caring as Woody is to his daughters. I don't know about Dylan, I can only tell you about what I've seen now, that it's a good marriage and that he's a loving, caring father."

"She has nothing to gain in coming out and saying this" Jenny McCarthy countered.

"Supposedly, she's very angry," Walters responded. "But she's doing it now because he's up for an award, so the question is does your personal life interfere with the award?"

Guest panelist Dana Loesch thought maybe it was the best time to divert attention.

"Or maybe it's because he's up for an award!" Walters interjected sharply.

Yes. Because no abuser has ever been charismatic, talented, and well-liked by his friends. Congratulations to Sherri Shepherd, Jenni McCarthy, and Dana Loesch (!?!?!!?!?!?!?) for looking like paragons of reason compared to Barbara Fucking Walters. [TheWrap]

The troubled screen and stage star began renting a tony $9,800-a-month pad on Bethune Street in Greenwich Village — fewer than three blocks from the home he'd shared with O'Donnell and their three young kids — around three months ago, neighbors said.

Game of Thrones recast Daario Naharis with Nashville's Michiel Huisman and everyone's mad because he doesn't have Daario's signature three-pronged blue goatee or whatever, but come on, you guys. You knowDany wanting to have sex with this guy was pretty much the most far-fetched plot point in all of the books and that INCLUDES DRAGONS. Just let them cast a sexy grizzler instead so shit makes sense. You'll live. [BuzzFeed]
